Can this be used standalone without any additional system or technology?

Yes it can! We just installed it on our front door and LOVE it! We just use the codes for now, but plan on adding the whole house system at a later date.

Yes, both keypad and keyed lock works as intended as a stand alone product. Keypad is programmable without any other equipment attached as well, supplied instructions are easy to follow. Yale also sells the same deadbolt/lock without the networking module for a slightly less and if you're not intending to utilize that functionality you can save a little money by purchasing the other version. The networking module can be bought separately also.

Is anyone worried about security when using this with Z-Wave? If I can unlock it remotely, can't someone hack it and do the same?
43557
Yes, it can work perfectly well as a touchscreen standalone unit, but you won't be able to take advantage of any of the wireless features such as remote unlocking from the web or your phone. It's also much easier to program multiple entry codes if you use it alongside something like a Vera Lite.
43558
Yes! You can program in codes directly on the lock. Using it with no Z-Wave controller will not allow you to schedule locking/unlocking, control the lock remotely, or create temporary codes however. Those features may not matter to you though.

All z wave enabled locks (Yale, Schlage, kwikset) can be programmed and operated manually with combination keys. No additional technology is needed for this purpose.If these locks have to be operated remotely (for example from a smart phone or computer), then a z-wave controller will be needed.I bought vera3 controller from Mi Casa Verde company (also available at Amazon).Word of caution regarding Yale YRD220-ZW-ORB. It won't fit into existing hole meant of Schlage or Kwikset deadbolt locks.I returned Yale and got a Kwikset lock instead which fits perfectly into an existing Schlage hole on the door.

The lock will work on its own but you won't be able to get the remote functions that come with the Zwave technology. You will be able to manually lock and unlock and manually change codes, but you can't do it over the internet. In this case you might as well buy the lock without the zwave function. It is cheaper and it's the same lock but doesn't come with the zwave module (the zwave module is a small piece that you insert into the appropriate slot on the lock to get the remote functions over a zwave network)The zwave function is the best part of this lock. I use mine with a mi casa verde lite and it works great. The lock will work on its own but you won't be able to get the remote functions that come with the Zwave technology.

Yes. In fact that is how I've been using it. I have about 6 of these. Works great. But 2 of them have had problems with the screens going blank.

NO, you need to install additional Hardware and Software to use it. It is just the barebones, you need to add the other layers to bring it Live!
1185662
Not on its own, you will need to connect it to a DVR or computer hard drive with the appropriate software.
1242337
You can't use this alone, you need a power amp or receiver. NO you can't! This is not a power amp.

I don't believe so, but I suppose if the "system without an operating system" can still recognize and read/write to external hard drives then it is possible.

The unit will operate completely on its own with no external connections of any kind. It only requires that you plug it in for power and plus the video cable into a TV so that you can set your options and make sure your cameras are all pointed where you want to monitor. No internet connection of any kind is required.
983438
Yes. It requires no special software. The only requirements are a power connector from the computer's power supply and a 40 pin data (IDE) cable from the computer's motherboard.

Possible.You would need a seperate program and hardware to accomplish. But as is,No.....jb

You can install apps Directly into the unit so then you don't need the computer. There a apps for ftp, torrents, etc. I think you can't daisy chain them because they need USB interfaces to increase capacity and the unit doesn't work as a USB drive.
639799
Yes it can. In fact it came without any operating systems so I had to download everything myself.
535738
Yes but you will have to use the System Development Kit (SDK) to write your own software. I could not find existing software.
1735839
yes,all it is an external drive, so it would not run an operation system, but you can retrieve data off of it like a usb tumb drive and use it as extra storage for acomputer.
620529
I agree.. more info please... is it useable without the monitoring service?
545860
It doesn't need any software to run, so there is no reason it wouldn't. I have used it on my machine before.
592727
It should work independently. However, I purchased two of these and neither one worked at all.
903087
Yes they can all be used to power devices without a computer but the amount of power each port has is very low compared to what a device would get from its own ac adapter.
340347
Yes it can be used without being connected to a computer. You can put a list into the computer of what number each disc is and then just manually enter that number into the on board keypad
